What’s been going on…(Feb 09)
Or why Adam hasn’t been blogging as much recently… I have found that blogging is one of those things that I enjoy doing out of the margins of my life and my thoughts. Sometimes those margins are razor thin, if present at all, and this winter has been one of those times. Thankfully, the reasons [...]

Fall Fun
Beautiful fall day today…a little pumpkin carving – including E being disturbed by the inside of the pumpkin (thus, some of his facial contortions). K did several faces for me (excited, frustrated, angry, confused).

We got back into town late last night from our two week vacation time of visiting family and friends. It felt great to get away from things here, but it also feels great to be home again. I think that is one of the biggest blessings of the time that we get to take off…feeling [...]

In DC
I hate stupid mapquest directions, poor signage, and traffic circles (and myself for getting frustrated…I think I need to read some chapters of Respectable Sins again). Other than that I’m in DC to enjoy some time with my wife (ten years of marriage in August) & sixteen total (or half of my life!). Update #1: [...]

Excursus on Sycamore Trees
My previous post reminded of this article I wrote for our church newsletter three years back: I have found at least two great reasons to have Sycamore trees in your yard – preferably one in the front yard and one in the back, as we do at our home. First, these two wonderfully tall and [...]

Day at the Virginia Aquarium
Having been out of town and then followed with a busy week, I wanted to spend some time with the kids and give Lydia a break. So, we went to the Virginia Aquarium in Virginia Beach (about 20 minutes away) on Monday. Here are some pictures and some of the sights we enjoyed. One of [...]

Slice of Life: Conversations with a 5 year old
Here are some random conversations with my son from recent weeks: This one came today (while the kids were riding bikes in the street): Me: When are you going to let me teach you to ride your bike without training wheels? E: (with stern look) Never. E: (a few minutes later) Were you seven when [...]
